The Lone-Ly Ranger


A good mommy does not get upset when he announces at bedtime that he needs to be a cowboy tomorrow. She dutifully gets up extra early (4:30 a.m.) and digs out bandanas, irons a plaid shirt and jeans, rummages for a vest, an old toy horse on a stick, and stuffs socks in her own cowboy boots so they will stay on his feet. She places dad's too big hat on his head and she smiles as he smiles at his perfect costume. 

A good mommy does not get upset when she picks him up at 3:00 p.m. and is told by the teacher that he was one week too early.

  1. I read this on my phone at 3am while dealing with insomnia and I laughed out loud. Thanks!
    I needed that.

  2. The ability to curb one's upset mean she has earned the good mommy badge. Well done (just don't forget next week.) (Also, I'm giggling right hard. Whole day as a lonesome cowboy, huh?)
